The IRS has announced that starting May 16, 2023, all QIs must use the new ID.me platform to access their user accounts in the QI Application and Account Management System (QAAMS). To ensure a smooth migration, we recommend that all users create an ID.me account before May 16, 2023, by following the instructions below.
To protect user data, the IRS has established a two-factor authentication process and requires all QAAMS users to create a new account in the ID.me portal and link it to their existing entity ID in QAAMS. To complete the migration process, follow the instructions below:
Go to the QAAMS login page and click the “Create ID.me Account” button. It is important to start the process via this button, as this is the only way to obtain ID.me access under the simplified procedure available for non-U.S. users.
Follow the login procedure, including SMS authentication via cell phone number or other methods. Use the same email address, first and last name you entered in the QAAMS.
Once your account is opened, you will be redirected back to the QAAMS.
You should now have access to the entity account in the QAAMS.
